Ayu: Anything Goes [XXIII]

[truehappiness]

Sometimes she's been in the process of doing so though, right? I recall for the last 2 "big" anniversaries she had one song each time.

[Katsuyuki012]

Being in the process of writing/composing doesn't mean there can't be anything that's done already.

[Xianghua]

Sometimes I daydream that she'll surprise us at the concert and sing a new song she secretly worked on, haha.

[Katsuyuki012]

Find it pretty umlikely but it's not like she hasn't done such kind of thing in the past.

[EndOfTheWorld]

My interpretation was that Ayu is working on new music. Maybe a single, maybe an album, we don't know yet.
I will just lose my shit if CREA just appears again after how many years now?
It's best to wait for official announcements.

[Katsuyuki012]

After 12 years. Will was the last time she took part in composing... just... wow...

[truehappiness]

In 2009 she had a song she composed IIRC to be in the running for Rule/Sparkle, but it didn't make it.

y'all better not set yourselves up for a disappointment

Didn’t she compose RED LINE

[truehappiness]

No, she didn't. Tetsuya Yukumi did and it was based on a TA blog entry or something around that year.

[Evan Odinson]

Wasn't CREA credited in We are the QUEENS?

[Aderianu]

^Wasn't. I think the last one was Will?

[Uknow!]

^ Yes, it was Will, and there was a song for NEXT LEVEL by CREA but she never released it because it was replaced by Sparkle (if I remember well)

[owlflight]

Had a dream last night that Ayu announced her next album titled Queen and I signed in to AHS and saw 300 new posts about it. I know she is busy with tour stuff but I would love some sort of announcement. But then I don’t even know if I’ll be able to get her future releases if there is no shipping to international customers. Correct me if I’m wrong on that!

At least it was for the greater good!

[Andrenekoi]

I'm pretty sure the only reason why there's no new Crea track is because Ayu doesn't think the compositions are all that good. And maybe they just aren't, really.

[mizuki-7]

She said herself she hasn’t enough knowledges as a composer back then... nonetheless to me she was able to create great melodies some of them having interesting structure and in the end it’s what matters . Maybe from a professional point of view they were «basics»? But who care some of her compositions are true classics.

[Andrenekoi]

^My point is: Maybe we did listen to all of the Crea tracks produced so far that were worth listening.

Ayu is a top tier performer, lyricist, marketer and producer. It's ok if she is not a top tier melody composer, even more considering she composed her own share of great melodies.

[hud]

^ agree!

Of course still it would be interesting to hear how a crea song would sound today ...
